Right but in chemistry class the way it’s taught via Gibbs free energy etc. makes it seem as if it’s an intrinsic property.

Yes these are the arguments in support of the idea. I’m not going to dismiss the idea completely but it’s not at the top of the list of likelihood imo

I think we’d have trouble because we’d have to tie the gene to a specific linguistic cognitive function. My hypothesis is that humans configured themselves into self-replicating group structures I’d call institutions, and language evolved

This has been hypothesized, but the fact that there aren’t many or any purely sign languages still around and other primates don’t show signs of using signs makes that seem like a reach, IMO

This matches up well with my hypothesis that language developed as a mediator of institutional behavior and not the other way around. https://spacechimplife.com/institutional-code-and-human-beha...

Stating the mentalese hypothesis as fact is a bit tenuous

I recently learned you can do the candidate server exchange without those servers. There was an implementation which used [this]( https://github.com/cjb/serverless-webrtc ) as a backend and a QR code to do the transfer.

I don’t think anyone is saying that those idiosyncratic details have no local impact whatsoever just that over the long run they mostly get filtered out as noise.

It sounds cool in theory, but in practice, it's just another tool wielded by the powerful. In practice, it's used most heavily for stuff like forcing people to express support for unjust wars, or to be quiet about a powerful pers

If you’re talking about public policy, IMO personal moral opinions have no place. Do you really want the state teaching “personal responsibility”? Even if you did, do you really think they could do it effectively? We have the highest pri

I think a decent theory of information and institutions is the most mission critical thing not only for academia, but for society in general. With all the resources going to academia, how much of them are focused on understanding the behavi

All of these definitions are fuzzy... refactor versus upgrade versus feature. When the people wrote it the way they did, they were almost certainly thinking that they don't need to overthink or over-engineer, and that they should disc

I have seen it validated by reality several times… more times than the opposite. I had a boss refuse to let me do a refactor that changed these sketchy dynamic field tables into json columns because “it’s not customer facing.” They were u

by davidmnoll 3y ago
I agree with this to some extent. but there’s a flip side too. This mentality is often taken way too far. I had an old boss who wouldn’t allow me to write unit tests citing this thought process. Even at places with decent engineering pract

The way I've done it is to get "quantitative" polling from other teammates. Basically I do a poll of something like (a) confidence that the solution will fix the problem (b) estimated 80% confidence time range required. I do
